There have been some real bad experiences with overpressure Russian steel case 9 mm reported on this forum (or maybe the old one) a while back. One of them happened to me (locked up my S&W 3914 dead tight). I had to use a hammer to drive a long slender rod up the barrel to open up the gun--the slide couldn't be opened after firing. The case was found to be quite oversized. Fortunately, this was not a Luger and the S&W works fine.
More dramatic cases have occurred with Lugers. I won't touch Russian ammo (anymore).
